How to make already painted turn signals clear

[Cody60D]

Hello,

I am returning from a long hiatus to ask a question. I am kitbashing a couple of 1:18 Kyosho BMW's to make my real life car as a diecast model. I have browsed DiecastXChange looking for tutorials on how to remove the amber from the corner lights. Here is a picture of the headlight from my source model:

And a photo of the headlight lens showing the amber end

And my car for reference

Thank you!

If the lenses are painted, one of the paint-stripper options discussed at the link below should work for you without damaging the plastic.

If the color is molded in, you're out of luck. However, there are also ways to make clear lenses from readily available materials if you should need to.

I use 91% rubbing alcohol. Works like a charm.
